MADISON — Gov. Tony Evers today announced more than $32 million in financial assistance to the University of Wisconsin (UW) System and the University of Wisconsin-Madison as they prepare to welcome students back to campus this fall.

Governor Evers and the Wisconsin Department of Health Services have announced expanded community testing sites and an on-line interactive map of those sites to help people with COVID-19 symptoms to be tested. DHS will update the map daily to reflect new mass community testing sites and sites that will be set up specifically to address outbreak areas in the state.

Within two months of the day COVID-19 was first identified in Wisconsin, the state saw a sustained surge of new cases, racing past 1,200 lab-confirmed infections by the end of March 2020.

The true number of people with COVID-19 in Wisconsin is undoubtedly much higher than the official tally — and continues to climb — though no one knows by exactly how much.

A news article at WQOW today announces that drive-through testing is now available at Mayo in Eau Claire. To use the service you must be a Mayo Clinic patient and have been pre-approved through screening to have a test.
